Move It Monday

Alright, since I already missed my assigned week to make a post I thought I'll write one today!  I did really bad last week, especially over the weekend.  The "I'll start on Monday" thought came to my mind like it always does.  And then I found this site: Move It Monday  http://www.moveitmonday.org/.    The site has free workouts and fitness tips but what I really liked was their "Monday Mile" challenge.  Every Monday they challenge people to walk, jog or run 1 mile with family and friends.  I figured that was something we all can handle, and is a good way to start out the week.  There is a link to some apps that help you map out 1 mile in your area.  I learned from their page that the CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week for adults.  That breaks down to 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.  It takes an adult in average shape about 30 minutes to walk a mile, so if we just do 1 mile on Mondays that takes care of one day! If anything in my life is to become a reality, I have to plan it out.  My plan for this week is to work out 30 minutes each day.  I will be doing one of my kettle ball videos tonight, walking tomorrow, a work out video Wed and Thursday and walking Friday and Saturday nights at work.  Next Monday I'll be starting the Monday miles.  I will have to walk it at first I'm sure, but eventually I hope I can at least run 1 mile.  We will see how long it takes me :)  What's your plan for this week to get in 150 minutes of exercise?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpRadZQic_0#t=23

  1. So this last week has been way busy. Although I didn't do as well as I would like....I thought but the point is to keep trying. So I went for a walk with my client's today and when I got home from work Ruby and Eric and I went. I am hoping this move it monday will be a good start to the week! I plan on doing a workout video tomorrow and another walk on Wednesday and workout video thursday and another walk again at the end of the week.
